In front of the college where he teaches, Olivier meets a girl who's asking for money. He recognizes Angela, his love from the past. Embarrassed, she leaves. The next day, he meets her again and invites her for a sandwich. She accepts. When Olivier has to pay, he does not find his wallet anymore and Angela has gone. Upset and fascinated, he will follow her in the city. Till what point is he going to trace her?

Comment

Angela, an angel lost in the city. A beautiful performance by the actress Nina Langensand in a short film by David Maye. Nurtured by personal experience, the young Valaisan director manages to transpose the elusive nature of his character with grace and without falling into cliché.

Dorian Pangallo – Sublime Démocratie

by Dorian Pangallo

In an era where crises follow one another and justify a state of permanent exception, Sublime Democracy is a critical multimedia campaign portraying democracies stripped of their foundations, yet upheld by persistent symbols sustaining the illusion. Designed as a contemporary fable, the work draws on precise presidential speeches and polished visuals, integrating AI as the engine of a critical process where falsehood becomes language. By playing with the codes of power, it questions our habituation to fear, authority, and dominant narratives.
